can affect the navigation system's
ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
the GPS Satellites. When the
vehicle is not receiving signals from
the satellites, a symbol appears on
the map screen. See Navigation
Symbols on page 45.
This system might not be available
or interference can occur if any of
the following are true:
Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance on
page 65 and If the System Needs
Service on page 65.
